Overview
Bamboo Trapdoor is one of the 14 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Trapdoor is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Bamboo Trapdoor as a functional block. Bamboo Trapdoor has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 3 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Bamboo Planks. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the bamboo set
How long it takes to break
Bamboo Trapdoor has a hardness of 3. By hand that is 4.5 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.5 seconds.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.3 times the unenchanted rate.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 4.5 s | 4.5 s | 4.5 s |
| Wooden | 2.3 s | 0.4 s | 0.2 s |
| Stone | 1.2 s | 0.35 s | 0.15 s |
| Iron | 0.75 s | 0.3 s | 0.15 s |
| Diamond | 0.6 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Netherite | 0.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Golden | 0.4 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
Properties
Bamboo Trapdoor has a blast resistance of 3, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
